EA Sports dropped a massive teaser for FIFA 18 last night, with a new trailer for the game expected at some point later today, but we suspect that EA are holding back the bulk of new info about the game for EA Play ahead of E3 2017 next week.

That said, we can still speculate as to what the game is going to show at EA Play in less than 5 days time.

For starters, after the incredible success of The Journey in FIFA 17, we're expecting to see or hear some more about how EA Sports intends to push forward with it's unique story mode.

Will we still be with Alex Hunter? Will a new star step into the spotlight? Will any of the dialogue options mean anything this time around? Only time will tell, but you'd be stupid to rule out a return for the groundbreaking FIFA 17 feature.

We also need to settle who will be this year's new cover star. Last year, it was put to a vote with Marco Reus winning the award and it will be interesting to see who takes up the mantle this year. With Messi and Barca very much

But with former FIFA 17 cover star Messi and the whole Barca team now very much in with Pro Evolution Soccer, wouldn't it be incredible to see the Argentine's biggest La Liga rival, Christiano Ronaldo, take on the coveted role for FIFA 18?

It's unlikely we'll discover anything about Ultimate Team, which is normally saved for Gamescom in August. However, after a recent leak that Sony PlayStation will have exclusive marketing rights, it would be good for fans to at least know what's going on with the games Ultimate Team Legends.

In the past, Legends have gone to the console who paid for exclusivity rights, which in recent years has been Xbox.

Again, it's possible that in announcing their new Partnership at EA Play, we also get more clarity on this too.

FIFA 18 - New features we want to see

FIFA 18 is coming to PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch later this year. Here are 5 new key changes we hope EA Sports introduce into the game.

Last week EA and developer Ghost Games finally revealed their new and highly anticipated Need for Speed game, titled 'Need for Speed Payback'.

The game is set to release this November 10th, with EA Access and Origin Access players able to try the game before launch for up to 10 hours starting Thursday, November 2nd.

For the time being, EA has only listed the game as coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC, with no word on whether the game will support 4K through the PS4 Pro or Xbox Scorpio.

Likewise, it doesn't look as though the game will come to Nintendo Switch, with zero mention of the game in any press materials.

It could be that we learn more at E3 2017, following announcements from both Sony and Microsoft.

The game is promising an "explosive adventure filled with intense heist missions, high stakes car battles, epic cop pursuits and jaw-dropping set pieces" on top of "blockbuster gameplay never before seen from the series, fueled by a gripping story of betrayal and revenge."

But for now, all gamers and petrol heads really care about, is the cars. Already the fevered Reddit community has been trawling through the trailer to

Star Wars Battlefront 2 will likely be the star of the EA Play show, in much the same way that Battlefield 1 took centre stage last year.

A lot has been said about Battlefront 2 however, and all that remains is for EA to start advertising the game to as many fans as it can.

Which is exactly what EA is doing right now in LA, with Electronic Arts renting out the legendary three buildings of the Hotel Figeuroa to feature a rather impressive Star Wars: Battlefront II mural.

Ironically, the picture was shared by Janina Gavankar, the actress playing Inferno Squad Commander Iden Versio, who players will take control of in the game’s story mode.

“Done!!! Who’s ready for E3? And who am I gonna see at EAplay?” tweeted Gavankar.

It follows on from confirmation that the game's official gameplay reveal at EA Play will showcase Theed, the capital of Padme Amidala's homeworld Naboo, which was the main battle from Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.

Here's the official description from EA:

"Sleek N-1 Starfighters and Vulture Droids scream overhead spewing light and fire. Nimble AT-RT Walkers race around corners, pursued by roaring AATs. Agile Clone Jumptroopers hop from rooftop to rooftop, while rampaging B2 Super Battle Droids level everything in their path. Armies of Clones and Droids sprint across cover, their blazing weapons shattering the tranquillity of the once-peaceful capital of Naboo. And at the center of the swirling melee the lightsabers and Darth Maul and Rey cut swaths through the ranks of the battling troopers."
